Home isn’t just where you hang your hat, it’s where you hang your heart.

Nick and Avery are good couple. She’s a little wishy-washy in the beginning about deciding if she wants to go after Nick or not. She decides “yes” and then talks herself out of it right up to the point where he reminds her why they are so good together. A truly combustible chemistry. It’s a good thing Nick is patient because her abundance of stubbornness and independence would be trying to any man, even Saint Nick.

I was curious about Avery’s time in Atlanta. Little hints along the way led me to believe she did more than attend medical school. It wasn’t just homesickness that sent her back to Warm Springs. I could tell that her personality was one that internalized problems. Interestingly enough, as much as she was determined to keep to herself, she was regularly annoyed when Nick withheld information. They had a lot to learn about communication and trust. It works out perfectly for an HEA but there were some rocky roads along the way.

I love a good “who done it?” so I was pleasantly surprised to see that the author didn’t give away the bad guy too quickly. And she gave me options. The blurb suggests that it’s someone Nick knows so I immediately started watching those closest to him. There were a couple of likely candidates. One would be disappointing, the other…devastating. It didn’t take long to eliminate the innocent one. The bad guy, though, wow! He truly had issues.

It was interesting to get to “meet” the bad guy first through his internal dialogue. I almost felt sorry for him, considering his circumstances and reasoning for his actions but in the end his anger and bitterness were just too destructive. He hurt people and intended to keep hurting people until someone would be forced to take him out. One tragedy that led to another.

This is a fast but smooth read. I haven’t read the others in the series but after meeting their respective heroes and heroines, I want to. I like the author’s voice and she has a good grasp on small southern towns and families.
